The Claridge is a classic cocktail made with gin, dry vermouth, apricot brandy, and triple sec, shaken with ice and served up in a coupe glass.
Yes, peach schnapps or apricot liqueur work as substitutes, though they will shift the flavor profile slightly toward sweetness.
Shaken with ice and strained into a chilled coupe glass is the traditional method for this cocktail.
A lemon twist or cherry is optional; the cocktail is traditionally served up without garnish.
A London Dry style gin with herbal notes balances the fruit elements; avoid heavily botanical gins that may overpower the apricot brandy.
